This girl that we work with is constantly talking about her weight and how she hates being 220. We all think she looks more like 400+ pounds. How can we tell? No one would even care about it if she hadn't made it an issue, so now we're out for the truth!!!

Don't think a typical bathroom scale goes up that high.

Now remember everyone carries their weight differently. She may be lying, but so what. Don't make an issue out of it anymore. Ignore the issue because it isn't imporant. She may be doing this to get attention or just because she is self conscience.

Having struggled all my life with a weight problem -- I have about 40 pounds to lose -- I would say that the woman is very unhappy and is looking for reassurance about her appearance. She wants someone to say "Really!? You don't look that big!".
She, of course, is only fooling herself. Try to just offer her positive advice (join Weight Watchers, start a walking club, etc.) rather than focusing on how much she does or does not weigh.

if she is not fit at all and is short she might be 220lbs and look bigger because fat is not as dense as muscle.
anyway - she is just probably looking for somebody to tell her she doesnt look that big, she has a poor self esteem and you should tell her to stop talking about her weight and make a compliment about something else (how smart she is or that she has a great sense of humor or beautiful eyes etc)
or just ignore the whole weight talk and eventually she will stop

You are just plain mean. Imagine how this makes her feel.
And you can't guess someone's weight just by looking at them. I'm 120lb and I've had people guess me at anything from 100lb to 160lb. Why? Because idiots like you are cluelss about weight!

Now...where in this is it YOUR right to know how much she weighs?
If she says that she weighs 220, then that's it. You have no right to pry into her life and try to figure out how much she weighs and whether or not she's lying.

I agree - what does it matter? Sounds like you guys are ganging up and harrassing this poor girl!
Try being more supportive so that she will try harder to loose the excess weight.

you need a hobby. why don't you just shoot her with a trank and trow her on a scale if you are so worried or better yet you can call her out on it and she could beat down all your little skinny butts.
